How does Falcon's containment feature function?

The containment feature of Falcon is designed to isolate affected endpoints within a network. By doing so, it helps prevent the spread of a compromise, ensuring that potentially malicious activity cannot extend beyond the immediate device. This containment can be crucial during an incident response, as it allows organizations to maintain control over their environments while addressing threats.

Isolating endpoints effectively limits the attack surface and helps protect other systems from being affected, thereby providing a crucial line of defense against widespread breaches. This immediate response capability enhances the overall security posture and mitigates risks associated with compromised devices.

The remaining options describe actions that are not part of Falcon's containment function. For instance, automatically shutting down the entire network would disrupt operations and is not a targeted response to contain a breach. Logging all user activity pertains more to auditing and monitoring, rather than directly isolating threats. Redirecting traffic to a backup server does not isolate compromised endpoints and does not mitigate the threat effectively.
